I suppose a lot of readers of this list do that, if you consider assembly languages.
For other languages: I?ve been maintaining the Cyber1 PLATO system from the start of that
project, which involves periodic work in TUTOR. And I?m working on recovering software
for the Electrologica EL-X8 and EL-X1 systems; the former was a particularly good ALGOL
system and the latter the host for the first ever ALGOL compiler.
This is fun since ALGOL was the first language I learned, luckily.
